Chapter 4027: The Unkempt Middle-Aged Man

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The fact that the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice’s Hu Chai Yi was chosen as a seeded participant meant that he was very outstanding. Even among the other outstanding young prodigies in the alliance, he was superior to them.

Not many people in the Eastern Ridge Mansion knew the extent of Hu Chai Yi’s strength. Even in the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice, no one had seen him fight with all his might. When he defeated his opponents in the past, he had done so without breaking a sweat.

For this reason, the young disciples in the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice trusted Hu Chai Yi’s strength unconditionally. Hu Chai Yi was the strongest person under the age of 10,000 in the alliance after all.

Unlike the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice, before Duan Ling Tian’s appearance, the Pure Yang Sect had a few top prodigies whose strengths were on par with each other. Needless to say, after Duan Ling Tian joined, he became the strongest person below the age of 10,000 in the Pure Yang Sect.

Taking all things into consideration, it was not surprising that the young disciples of the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice did not think Ye Yin Cai was worthy of being compared to Hu Chai Yi.

“Pft! Ye Ying Cai actually challenged Brother Hu! He’s seeking death!”

“Ye Ying Cai is the cause of the conflict between us and the Pure Yang Sect. He injured one of our members first! He really deserves to die!”

“That’s right! I hope Brother Hu kills him! Even if Brother Hu can’t kill him, I hope Brother Hu will cripple him!”

“Ye Ying Cai is the granddisciple of Ye Chen Feng, the founder of the Pure Yang Sect’s Hidden Sword faction. Most importantly, Ye Chen Feng is the strongest person in the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Even if the Howling Flames Sect’s Elder Lin doesn’t save Ye Ying Cai, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for Brother Hu to kill him with Ye Chen Feng around.”

“That guy is really lucky to have such a grandmaster!”

Under the hostile gazes of the people of the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice, Ye Ying Cai made his move. In just a moment, he was engaged in a fierce fight with the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice’s Ye Ying Cai.

In the first ten moves, the duo was evenly matched. After that, Hu Chai Yi slowly gained the upper hand. His attacks that were directed at Ye Ying Cai were fierce and deadly.

After another twenty moves, Ye Ying Cai was already severely injured. However, he gritted his teeth and refused to surrender.

......

Seeing this, Hu Chai Yi was about to attack again. However, before he could do so…

“I’ll surrender on his behalf.”

Hu Chai Yi looked at the source of the indifferent voice. He was slightly startled when he met a piercing gaze. When he recovered, he hurriedly averted his eyes, unable to meet the other person’s eyes. With just a look, he felt as though his heart had been pierced with 10,000 arrows, and he felt like he could not breathe. Most importantly, the alliance leader was completely unaware of what had happened.

‘So this is the strength of the strongest person in the Eastern Ridge Mansion? He’s an intermediate Emperor of Gods, but so is our leader. Why is the gap between them so wide?’

Since Ye Chen Feng had surrendered on behalf of Ye Ying Cai, Hu Chai Yi did not dare to attack again. There were no rules prohibiting and allowing elders to surrender on their disciples’ behalf during the Seven Mansions Feast so the matter was rather vague. Nonetheless, he did not dare to act rashly. After all, Ye Chen Feng was not someone he could afford to provoke. He could only resist his urge to attack Ye Ying Cai again.

“Grandmaster…” Ye Ying Cai called out with a bitter expression on his face. All of a sudden, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale immediately.

Lin Dong Lai looked at Ye Ying Cai and asked, “Do you want to issue your second challenge?”

“Ye..”

Before Ye Ying Cai could say yes, Ye Chen Feng said again, “Forfeit your second challenge. Issue your third challenge after 15 minutes.”

Then, Ye Chen Feng tossed a bottle of pills over to Ye Ying Cai.

Ye Ying Cai caught the pill bottle and raised his head to look at Ye Chen Feng. When he saw Ye Chen Feng’s calm gaze, he felt guilty. He even had the urge to cry.

Many people, including Duan Ling Tian, thought Ye Ying Cai was too impulsive.

‘In the beginning when I just joined the sect, the sect was very hopeful that I could rank in the top ten. Based on their reaction at that time, it was clear that they did not expect any of their young disciples to be able to rank in the top ten. I thought their reaction was a little exaggerated and assumed that at least a few disciples would be able to rank in the top ten. As it turns out, I was wrong. Apart from Yang Qian Ye, it won’t be easy for the others to rank even in the top 30, let alone the top ten.’

At this time, Duan Ling Tian also realized what a huge feat it was for Zhen Ping Fan and Ye Chen Feng to rank in the top 20 and the top 30 respectively in the Seven Mansions Feast 10,000 years ago. At the very least, the duo’s strength back then was not any weaker than Ye Ying Cai and Yun Ye Wei.

“Elder Ye, don’t you think that was an exciting fight?” Ren Tie Qiu, the Leader of the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice, asked through Voice Transmission in a gloating tone. He was clearly seizing the opportunity to mock Ye Chen Feng to vent his dissatisfaction.

Ye Chen Feng was indifferent as he replied with a question, “Shall we spar after the Seven Mansions Feast? I’m sure it’ll be exciting as well.”

These words were very effective in shutting Ren Tie Qiu up. He no longer spoke after that.

Meanwhile, the others finally began to feel that something was amiss when they recalled Ye Ying Cai’s previous performance.

“Hey, doesn’t it feel like Ye Ying Cai is targeting the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice? Does he have a grudge against them?”

“Who knows? However, the Pure Yang Sect and the Alliance of Benevolence and Justice are both from the Eastern Ridge Mansion. It’s not surprising if they have conflicts.”

“Ye Ying Cai was too impulsive. That Hu Chai Yi was selected as a seeded participant. Clearly, Hu Chai Yi’s strength is not simple, but he still went and challenged Hu Chai Yi. In the end, he’s the one who suffered a loss.”

15 minutes passed in just a blink of an eye.

At this time, Ye Ying Cai, who was seriously injured earlier, seemed to have been reborn. It seemed like he was completely healed.

Upon seeing this miraculous healing effect, people began to discuss among themselves again.

“The divine pill Elder Ye gave him is definitely not an ordinary divine pill! What kind of ordinary divine pill would have such an extraordinary healing effect?”

“Isn’t it obvious? I just wonder what kind of healing divine pill it was. Even a lord-grade Limit Divine Pill won’t be able to produce such a miraculous effect in such a short time, right?”

“Could it be an… emperor-grade divine pill?!”

“That’s possible. Moreover, it’s likely not just an ordinary emperor-grade divine pill. There are few emperor-grade divine pills I know that have such an effect.”

“Don’t tell me it’s an emperor-grade Limit Divine Pill?!”

“Of course not! At least in the Seven Mansions, I’ve never heard of anyone capable of refining emperor-grade Limit Divine Pills. In fact, I don’t know if such a person exists in the Profound Energy Land”

“I read in one of the ancient records that there was a person who could refine emperor-grade Limit Divine Pills. You’re right, such a person is a rare existence no matter the era!”

Even Duan Ling Tian was surprised by the divine pill’s miraculous effect.

‘It has to be an emperor-grade divine pill. No lord-grade divine pills are capable of this, not even lord-grade Limit Divine Pills!’

Duan Ling Tian could refine lord-grade Limit Divine Pills now, but there were still a few complicated lord-grade Limit Divine Pills that he could not refine. He had tried to refine emperor-grade divine pills as well, but each of his attempts had ended in failure and wastage of rare ingredients. Ingredients to refine emperor-grade divine pills were rare and precious. Even a secondary ingredient to refine emperor-grade divine pills could be a primary ingredient to refine some lord-grade divine pills.

At this time, Ye Ying Cai looked around before his eyes locked on a figure.

The other party was a prodigy from Frozen Mountain Manor, one of the four top forces in the Feudal Lord Mansion. He was the strongest young disciple in the Frozen Mountain Manor and was also the only one chosen to be a seeded participant from the Frozen Mountain Manor. Appearance-wise, he looked like a middle-aged man. He did not shave the stubbles on his face, and he was casually dressed in a shabby robe. He held a wine gourd in his hand, and after entering the battlefield, he even took a few swigs from the wine gourd.

‘This person…’ Duan Ling Tian looked at the unkempt middle-aged man. Although this was his first time seeing the other party, his instinct and experience told him that such an eccentric character was either true to his appearance or very powerful. However, he had a feeling that there was much more than meets eyes with the middle-aged man. Moreover, how could a simple person be selected as a seeded participant?

When Ye Ying Cai saw the middle-aged opponent drinking on the battlefield, he could not help but frown slightly. He said, “The fight has started.”

“You go first,” the middle-aged man said as he put down the wine gourd in his hand. Then, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve before he continued to say with a grin, “Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t have a chance to attack at all.”

The middle-aged man’s words caused Ye Ying Cai’s expression to darken slightly, and they caused a stir as well.

“This person from the Frozen Mountain Manor is really arrogant!”

“His previous performances were only average, right? The strength he displayed so far isn’t as strong as that of Ye Ying Cai.”

“Don’t forget he’s chosen as a seeded participant…”

While everyone was still talking, Ye Ying Cai, who wore a sour expression on his face, finally made his move. A prominent divine sword appeared in his hand as he mobilized his Divine Energy and cast the law he comprehended. He did not hold back at all.

Ye Ying Cai did not dare to hold back because he had received a Voice Transmission from Ye Chen Feng, his grandmaster. Ye Chen Feng had warned him not to underestimate the middle-aged man and also told him that the middle-aged man was not weaker than Hu Chai Yi. These words sobered him up immediately.

‘Hm?’ Duan Ling Tian noticed Ye Ying Cai’s subtle change, and he instinctively turned to look at Ye Chen Feng who was sitting on the small floating island. He was sure Ye Chen Feng had something to do with Ye Ying Cai’s sudden change in attitude.
